Vladimir Kubelka: Freezing Robots: Northern Robotics Laboratory at the Laval University

16 Dec 2019   11:00-12:30

Northern Robotics Laboratory (NORLAB) at Laval University (Québec) is specialized in mobile and autonomous systems working in northern or difficult conditions. We aim at investigating new challenges related to navigation algorithms to push the boundary of what is currently possible to achieve with a mobile robot in real-life conditions. The current focus of the laboratory is on localization algorithms designed for laser sensors (lidar) and 3D reconstruction of the environment.

Vladimir Kubelka defended his Ph.D. thesis at CTU in 2018, co-supervised by Michal Reinstein and Tomas Svoboda, and has enrolled as a postdoc fellow with the Northern Robotics Laboratory (lead by François Pomerleau) at the Laval University in Québec. The current research topic is outdoor mobile robot localization and mapping in winter conditions: deep snow, terrain changing due to blizzards, low visibility and deteriorated GPS.
